Quick Answer
The Beam frother is a handy tool for blending Beam superpowders like Glow or dream-2-70ab17af5ff854e40df75fa8-906808">Dream into your favorite beverages. To get a smooth, clump-free drink every time, add liquid first, then powder, and use the frother in a gentle up-and-down motion until fully dissolved.
If you've ever tried to stir a superpowder into a glass of water or milk, you know the struggle: clumps that refuse to break up, powder stuck to the bottom, and a gritty texture that ruins the experience. A handheld frother solves that problem in seconds, and it's especially useful for Beam's line of superpowders, which are designed to mix easily but still benefit from a little mechanical help.
Whether you're making a morning smoothie with Glow or a cozy evening cup of Dream, using a frother can make a noticeable difference in texture and consistency. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps to get the best results, share common mistakes to avoid, and explain why a frother is a worthwhile addition to your supplement routine.
Why Use a Frother for Superpowders?
Superpowders are formulated to dissolve easily, but they still contain ingredients like collagen, adaptogens, and fiber that can clump when added to liquid all at once. A frother creates a vortex that breaks up powder particles and incorporates air, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. This is especially important for powders like Glow, which benefit from thorough mixing to ensure you get the full dose of every ingredient in each sip.
Using a frother also speeds up your routine. Instead of shaking a bottle or stirring with a spoon for minutes, a frother can fully mix your drink in about 15 seconds. It's also great for creating a frothy top that makes your drink feel more indulgent, whether you're making a cold smoothie or a warm latte-style beverage.
- Frothers are inexpensive and easy to clean—just rinse the whisk under warm water.
- They work with both hot and cold liquids, making them versatile for year-round use.
What to Look for in a Frother
When choosing a frother, look for one with a stainless steel whisk and a powerful motor. A battery-operated model is convenient for travel, while a rechargeable one is more eco-friendly. Some frothers come with a stand, which is nice for keeping your counter tidy. The best frothers have two speeds: a lower speed for gentle mixing and a higher speed for creating foam.
One common mistake is using a frother that's too powerful for the container, which can cause splashing. Always start at a low speed and increase gradually. Also, consider the length of the whisk—a longer whisk is better for tall glasses, while a shorter one works well for mugs and shaker bottles.
Step-by-Step: How to Froth Your Beam Superpowder
- Add liquid first: Pour your preferred liquid—water, milk, or a milk alternative—into your cup or glass. Leave enough room for the powder and for the frother to move without splashing. For hot drinks, use warm (not boiling) liquid to avoid scorching the powder. Checkpoint: The liquid should be at least halfway up the cup, but not more than three-quarters full.
- Add the superpowder: Scoop the recommended amount of Beam superpowder into the liquid. Adding powder to liquid (not the other way around) helps reduce clumping. Use a dry scoop to measure accurately. Checkpoint: Sprinkle the powder evenly over the surface rather than dumping it all in one spot.
- Start frothing at low speed: Place the frother whisk just below the surface of the liquid and turn it on at the lowest speed. Move the frother in a gentle up-and-down motion to pull the powder down into the liquid. This prevents powder from flying out of the cup. Checkpoint: If you see dry powder on the surface, tilt the cup slightly to submerge it.
- Increase speed and mix thoroughly: After about 5 seconds, increase to a higher speed and continue moving the frother through the liquid for another 10-15 seconds. You'll notice a smooth, frothy texture. Make sure to reach the bottom of the cup to incorporate any settled powder. Checkpoint: The mixture should be uniform with no visible clumps or powder residue.
- Tap and enjoy: Turn off the frother and give the cup a gentle tap on the counter to release any foam bubbles. Then, enjoy your perfectly mixed drink. Rinse the frother whisk under warm water immediately to prevent residue buildup. Checkpoint: Your drink is ready when it's smooth and flavorful—no gritty bits left behind.
